• Book Now: Pay in full at booking; the booking is confirmed immediately, and standard cancellation rules apply.
• Paylater: Reserve a spot without payment or card details; the reservation is held for 48 hours while our Travel Experience team follows up. If not confirmed within 48 hours the reservation is deleted.

• Confirmation timing: Book Now = immediate confirmation. Paylater = provisional hold (48 hours)  not a confirmed booking.
• Payment requirement: Book Now = full payment at time of booking. Paylater = no payment required to hold.
• Cancellation policy: Book Now = cancellation policy applies from booking. Paylater = no cancellation actions apply until the reservation is converted to a confirmed booking by full payment.
• Supplier arrangements: Book Now signals commitment to suppliers immediately. Paylater allows partners limited time to plan but does not trigger supplier commitments until confirmed.
• Inventory risk: Book Now secures your spot. Paylater holds availability briefly; unconfirmed holds are released automatically after 48 hours.
• Evidence & service planning: Paylater gives time to review plans; Book Now is best when your plans are final and you want certainty.

• Your travel dates, itinerary, and participants are finalized.
• You want guaranteed space and immediate confirmation.
• You prefer the protections of Adventour Global’s cancellation and refund processes to apply now.

• Followup: Our Travel Experience team will send reminders during the 48hour hold to help you confirm.
• No card on file: Paylater does not require payment details; to confirm you must complete full payment within the 48hour window.
• Converting to confirmed booking: To convert a Paylater hold into a confirmed booking, complete full payment as instructed in our followup email before the 48hour expiry.
• Cancellation implications: If you convert a Paylater hold to a confirmed booking (via full payment), the standard cancellation tiers (100% refund ≥30 days, 50% refund 1–29 days, no refund sameday) will apply.
• Nonrefundable components: Even with Book Now, some supplier fees or permits may be nonrefundable; these will be disclosed at booking and may reduce refundable amounts.
• Avoiding cancellations: If you expect potential changes (flight uncertainty, pending documents, health concerns), consider Paylater but confirm within 48 hours to avoid losing the hold.
• Peak times: During high demand, prioritize Book Now to secure limited spots.
